"Hmph, it came very quickly, it seems that the people in Zhaohua Palace are not clean, say to Jumang, clean up the people in the palace when you are free, and the palace will bear it if something happens." Wu Jinghong was in a state of mind when he was in a hurry, and he was a little unhappy, "My father and queen mother are wide-hearted, and there is no caring person underneath!" ”

Ning Pu was still waiting outside the conference hall, and saw Wu Jinghong and his party coming from the direction of the palace gate, but halfway through the road, he turned a corner and went to the dormitory.

"Lord Ning, Your Highness said that she is tired, this afternoon is just right for recuperation, Your Highness needs to take a lunch break for an hour, please wait here."

Ning Pu lowered his eyebrows and bowed his head, and said respectfully, "It's not Wei Chen who disturbed the princess, please rest in peace with Her Royal Highness the princess, Wei Chen is waiting." ”

Qingmang couldn't help but glance at this Ministry of Rites Shangshu a few more times, and then replied unhurriedly.

Ning Pu raised her eyelids slightly behind her, her dark eyes sank, this maid looked at her eyes, could it be that the princess had cultivated her confidant outside in the past three years? Just looking at the princess's court strategy, you know that she has not been idle in the past three years, and that amazing strategy is not something that the princess in the deep palace can achieve.

I just hope that my statement is timely, and I am still young, so I can't make a mistake here.

"Your Highness, Lord Ning is outside." Qing Mang saw that Wu Jinghong had already moved from the dormitory to the study, and quietly followed in, took the inkstone in Lu Mang's hand and continued to grind the ink, and then said softly as if he had inadvertently mentioned it, "Lord Ning has lost it, saying that he is waiting for His Highness outside." ”

"Oh, then wait!" Wu Jinghong said indifferently.

"Yes."

The green mangs were empty, cooking tea on a few cases on the side, and the smooth movements looked particularly pleasing to the eye.

Wu Jinghong flipped through a few folds, and there was no expression on his face, Qingmang concentrated on grinding, and Lumang concentrated on cooking tea, and it was a calm and comfortable atmosphere for a while.

I don't know how long it took, Chimang handed over another stack of folds, "Your Majesty said, this winter test hopes that His Royal Highness will be more attentive, and discuss with Lord Ning, Lord Ning is also young and promising, it was the emperor who took a fancy to him back then, and the emperor also ordered Lord Ning's lecture on his deathbed." ”

“…… Well. Wu Jinghong replied lightly, "The palace is just drying him, and he won't be exposed to his problems this day, why did my father pass the word?" ”

"I heard that this Lord Shangshu has been smooth sailing since he stepped into the official career at the age of twenty, and he has risen to the clouds in less than ten years, and the official worships Shangshu." Chimang whispered, "It is indeed the person that the first emperor took a fancy to, probably the first emperor also told His Majesty, and Your Majesty ...... it."

"In that case, Qingmang, how long has it been?"

"Back to Your Highness, it's just been half an hour."

"An hour has been spoken, and this hour must be finished." Wu Jinghong waved his hand, "Go and ask my father, if you are worried about tiring Lord Ning, can you wait more comfortably to move a small pestle for him?" ”

Chimang answered and went out.

Wu Jinghong is still a little angry in her heart, how can she be a talent who can make her father so concerned? It seems that this Ning Pu has some means, I heard that the father's letting go is to push out most of the folds, and a few of them are the most covered. The old prime minister also involved a lot, and several important ministers coaxed their father and emperor happily, who knows how many hands and feet they have done behind their backs, just look at the people in this palace!

The old prime minister didn't care for the time being, he hadn't seen anything wrong with him at this time, but there was a royal history who was beheaded at the gate of the court, which made her full of vigilance against the old ministers and important ministers in the court.

"Hu ......" exhaled a breath of turbidity, and Wu Jinghong pushed away the pile of folds in front of her, at this time she would miss Jiuzun - she urgently needed manpower to investigate the affairs of hundreds of officials. Fortunately, Jiuzun left a dark card domineeringly before leaving, according to him, there are dozens of teams of dark soldiers who will be sent by the dark card, she has hesitated so far, now is the time to use it, right?

"Chimang, give the Immortal Card to Lan Mang, and order him to contact the Immortal Soldiers to secretly investigate these people."

Handed over with the Immortal Card was a list, in which Ning Pu's name was impressively in the first place, and Wu Jinghong advised, "Time is tight, come one by one in order, and report in turn." ”

"Yes." Chimang solemnly took it.

The sun in November is not strong, but it is still a little dizzy after a long time, not to mention that Ning Pu has been slack off since he became an official, and he basically relies on a carriage to go out, and the pergola in the house is followed by the verandah, and the verandah is connected to the yard, where has the noon sun been basked?

Ning Pu raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the dormitory, thinking to himself, if he fainted at this time, would Her Royal Highness the Princess directly carry herself to His Majesty?

Alas, His Majesty was not diligent in his work before, but now that the shrewd and capable princess is back, he is still worried, and with the temperament of Her Royal Highness the Princess, he may think that it is their group of courtiers who have bewitched Your Majesty, and now he can't even keep his innocence.

After an hour, Ning Pu estimated the hour, just waiting for someone to lead him to see the princess, left and right, and the palace people walked past him without squinting, but no one took care of him.

By the time he finally had an epiphany, and he wanted to beat his chest and scold himself, another hour had passed.

"Your Highness, I would like to see you outside the Shangshu Hall of the Ministry of Rites." Chimang shouted with an open voice, which just made Ning Pu outside the hall hear a little aftersound.

Ning Puqiang couldn't help but comb his brows, so as not to let his face look full of complaints, and bowed down and stepped into the conference hall under the fierce gaze of the red mang.

"Weichen see Her Royal Highness the Princess, Princess Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

Just stood firm in front of Wu Jinghong, Ning Pu immediately bowed to the ground, extremely sincere.

"Well, I'm tired of waiting so long, let's get up and sit down for a while!"

Ning Pu Xie got up, still a little apprehensive in his heart, the princess's voice was flat, so he couldn't feel her mood.

"Lord Ning is in such a hurry to see this palace, but what's the matter?"

"Your Royal Highness, Weichen received the errand of supervising the winter test, but he couldn't make up his mind, so he came to ask Her Royal Highness the princess to decide."

"Oh?" Wu Jinghong smiled faintly, "What do you think?" Isn't it that the civil and military main examination has not yet been decided? ”

Ning Pu's voice was stiff, and he said stubbornly, "Indeed, Her Royal Highness the princess is wise. ”

"Hmph." Wu Jinghong let out a short laugh of unknown meaning, "Choosing the chief examiner can stump Lord Ning with such a thing?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, Weichen already has two candidates, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he didn't dare to decide for himself."

"There is still a month to go before the winter exam, and the examiner has not decided, so what about the test questions? It must not be decided, right? Is Lord Ning ready to meet the winter test in such a hurry? Lord Ning, can't you see how important this winter test is? Wu Jinghong's fingers tapped a few cases, his tone was aggravated, but his face was silent, "My father trusts you a lot, but you do this errand?" Well? If the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are like Lord Ning......"

"Your Highness is angry!" Ning Pu slipped from the chair and knelt down with a "plop", and even shook the chair a few times, "It's Weichen's dereliction of duty, Weichen, Weichen can't be the ...... of this winter test"

"Dereliction of duty to absolve responsibility? Well? Lord Ning is really a good plan! Wu Jinghong was slightly angry, his eyes were fixed on Ning Pu, and he blocked all the words he hadn't finished speaking.

Ning Pu knelt on the ground, feeling miserable in his heart, he didn't expect Her Royal Highness the princess to be so strong, and he didn't even have to use the bitter trick step by step.

After a period of silence, Ning Pu held his breath and didn't dare to come out, just when his face was red and he was about to suffocate, he heard a sigh from the top of his head, "That's it, you get up." ”

Ning Pu exhaled a breath while trembling to prop up his upper body, but he didn't dare to get up, he saw that Wu Jinghong's face was slightly softened, and he also exhaled in his heart.

"I heard that the emperor also had a request to you on his deathbed?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, the emperor was merciful, Yu Weichen had the grace of knowing the encounter, and Weichen was ashamed and failed to repay one or two."

"What did the emperor entrust to you?"

Ning Pu secretly glanced at Wu Jinghong, "Weichen swore in front of the first emperor that the Ning clan would be loyal to the Yun Emperor of the Wu clan within three generations. ”

Hearing this, Wu Jinghong was a little surprised, her imperial grandfather loved her very much, she knew, but when he was dying, Ning Pu made an oath of allegiance to Emperor Yun, could it be that Ning Pu was really a once-in-a-century genius?

"The emperor valued you, but now you can't even arrange the winter test." Wu Jinghong shook his head and sighed in disappointment.

"Your Royal Highness is wise, and the ability of the micro-minister is limited, so I am ashamed of the emperor and Your Majesty!" Ning Pu hurriedly lowered his posture again and buried his head deeply.

"Since the emperor believes in you, and my father also values you so much, I hope you don't disappoint, this winter test, the palace will be watching, the father asked the palace to follow Lord Ning to learn more, and now that the palace knows the strength of Lord Ning, it seems that he can't learn anything." Wu Jinghong waved his hand, stopped in moderation, and motioned to Lu Mang to help Ning Pu up and sit down, "If you can't study, it's always right to discuss and act, right?" ”

"Wechen doesn't dare to be, it's Wechen who learns from His Highness." Ning Pu arched his hand and brushed away the cold sweat on his forehead by the way.

This princess has only been out of the palace for three years, and she doesn't know who she learned from such a compelling momentum - no wonder he has a small amount of energy, in fact, he has never met such a strong superior in so many years, even the emperor is always kind to him.

No matter what Ning Pu felt in his heart, Wu Jinghong was extremely satisfied at this time, this dismount plus the emperor's dying oath was enough for Ning Pu'an's share.

"Okay, Lord Ning, let's talk about the two candidates you have planned, and this palace will help you take a look." The goal was achieved, Wu Jinghong looked at Ning Pu in a comfortable mood, he looked like he was Zhou Zheng, he looked like he was in his twenties, hum, of course he didn't look old if he didn't work hard for nearly ten years.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the examiner of the literary examination proposed by Weichen is Liu Hanlin and Liu Yuan, and the examiner of the martial arts examination is Zhonglang General Qin Ruanwen, both of whom were the champions of the winter examination three years ago, young and promising." Ning Pu replied in a proper manner, and did not dare to say that he had already handed over the names of these two people, and His Majesty had also seen it and ordered it.
